Rise In Calradia

Chapter 352: Family and business

"Snee!"

Byron, who was working on the copywriting at the desk, suddenly sneezed. This sneeze was extraordinary. Byron only felt that he had exhausted all the gas in his lungs. The tremor of the distance made his body lean forward greatly, and droplets spurted out. After being very far away, the quill was broken under strong force, and the manuscript on the table was also in a mess at this time. When Byron lifted up, he felt pain in his chest even more.

"There must be someone scolding me!" Byron muttered to himself very unhappy.

"Perhaps a guy named Kane in another continent is laughing at me at this moment. He may laugh at my behavior, and even at my level of naming the mercenary group!" Byron vowed: "But what about him? What? It’s not called Peony for the mercenary group? Isn’t it called a rose? It’s a big laugh!"

After a complaint, Byron suddenly felt a little puzzled. What he said just now seemed to have passed through his head. He didn't know anyone named Kane, let alone what he meant. He thought for a while, only to regard these things as ghosts that pretended to be gods.

"Forget it, don't care about it. This sneeze made my ribs hurt. Just double the ransom of those captives a little bit and a half, and treat it as a tonic for me." Byron no longer thinks about the uselessness. Regarding the matter, he looked down at the messy table and tidied up at random, then he left the room and went to the bedroom.

"My dear, don't let the official business mess you up." In the bedroom, Nelda was stroking her belly that was swollen to inconvenience, looking at him with a smile on her face. Jamila stood by, holding the sleeping baby Albadono. As the highest-ranking woman in the newly conquered land of Swadia, the lord of Serendil, the Baroness Jamila, is no better fit to accompany Nelda as the countess. She has been living here during this time, and managed Serendil through messengers and letters with Byron, allowing Nelda to concentrate on raising her fetus.

"Don't worry, my dear Nelda, this little trifle won't overwhelm your man." Byron couldn't fight to walk over and gave her a hug. His steps are great, but he is very careful when hugging.

"I heard his voice." Byron closed his eyes and pressed his ear to his wife's puffed belly. "Lively, healthy and full of energy, he must be a strong and smart boy who can prosper our family as my heir."

"What if she is a girl?" Nelda asked deliberately.

"Then she is my most precious treasure, we will let her get the best care, and let our little princess grow into a beauty and a good wife like her mother." Byron promised with a smile.

"What about the child's name?"

"If it's a boy, call him William. If it's a girl... how about calling her mother's name?"

"My name? Call my mother's name. You can call her Anna."

"I listen to you, dear."

The affection between Byron and Nelda made Jamila a little sad. She couldn't help but recall the time when she was pregnant. At that time, how she wished Elaine could be like Byron now. Guarding by her side, she didn't have too many illusions, as long as Eleon came to see her and stayed with her for a few minutes, she would be content. But this little wish is also an extravagant desire for her...

Jamila wanted to leave the room on her own, but when she was about to leave, Nelda took her, and Byron asked her to stay, and sat down and talked with the two of them.

"I heard that you want to canonize Fatis as a baron?" Jamila tried to divert her focus to forget the unpleasantness.

"Yes, the weather is also warm. It would be a good trip to Veluga. I will go to see His Royal Highness, and by the way, take our Earl brand products with us. The dinars are not too much. We use money. There will only be more and more places. This will be a grand rally. I will be able to confer the title of Baron on Fatis at the rally. But I don’t have any extra land to grant him for the time being, and I can’t live without him now. He will assist me in Amila."

"Alein will be upset again, he always thinks about his turn as soon as possible." Yamila smiled helplessly. She already knows Elaine thoroughly.

"That's his business! In view of his various behaviors, I can canonize him as a baron, but that can only be done in one way!" Byron's expression collapsed, and Jamila stopped talking, he It's clear what Byron is talking about. Only after he marries a lady who has the baronial title as his wife, Byron will realize Elaine's long-held wish to become a real lord who truly owns the land and title.

Byron has always been on her side and has been trying his best to help her. For this reason, he even broke the tradition and ignored the disputes of the nobles. Jamila was very grateful for this, but Byron said that it didn't need to be the case. Elaine was looking for it himself now, and he was just helping a friend by the way.

Jamila could never forget Elaine. In addition to love, the child had become an inseparable bond between them. Even if Elaine ignored all this, the connection would still exist.

In the subsequent conversation, they talked about some lighter topics, talked about the precautions related to pregnancy and the story before Yamila. In the end, they talked more and more deeply, and Byron left for them to discuss privately.

After dealing with his own family affairs, Byron still has a lot of official business to deal with. After returning to Amila, Fatis and Manid immediately reported to Byron about the problems that occurred during this period~lightnovelpub.net~ These are mostly bad things, such as those who betrayed Byron to support Leyland The earl’s landlord and manor, complicated statistics on taxes, serious income deficits, and trade competition from the direction of Gamizi. Some of them can also turn into good things. For example, those landlords who have betrayed their land. Their land was confiscated in large quantities. They and their families were also expelled. Byron took over the land, but allowed them to keep the rest of their property.

As for other issues, there is only one that is currently difficult to solve, and that is the trade war initiated by Earl Leyland. Fort Gamizi controls a large area of ​​land in the south of Amira, and a trade road that can be connected to Jerkha. The Earl of Leyland drastically reduces tariffs and attracts merchants from the east to go to Jyrkala through Fort Gamizi. And further west, in order to suppress the trade in the Amira Fort area.

And Byron did not compromise on this. Since Earl Leyland wanted to use the dinar to start the war, Byron would naturally use the dinar to fight back. He also reduced tariffs to a certain extent and sent troops to **** the caravans. At the same time, he wrote a letter to unite with the other lords of Swadia to build a trade blockade, prohibiting the southern caravans that did not obtain Byron’s permission from going to Veluga. In the north and southwest of Swadia, it won’t take long for the influx of commodities to saturate the Rhodok market, which is now only half of the time, and merchants will naturally come to him if they have no profit. In addition, Rolf will also bring troops to "walk" around Garmizi, and use practical actions to tell those merchants who go to Garmizi where to stand.
